    Lands End 2023Lands End Hill Climb was last weekend and it was a total blast as usual. I got another win in the motorbike class and put the bug on the podium with a respectable 3rd place in Rally 2WD class behind a BMW stage rally winner and A Porsche GT3. But on my last run 3rd gear left the party and by the time I got back to the trailer my little engine oil consumption issue had developed into a full blown oil burning smoke show. I sure cannot complain for two and a half years of racing on a $100 transmission I got from Alykat and a 160K mile Subaru engine I got out of a $400 dollar car that I sold for $500 after I pulled the engine out. Now, can I get so lucky to replace them again so easily…

    Oh man that plane looks like fun! I bet I could make some people run for cover with it, maybe dive bomb under some easy-up tents Kirby Chambliss style at least a few times before I had to break out the CA glue 😉

    That beast looks pretty bad ass Ben!!

    I bet you would dig flying John. So much concentration and such a rush. I probably had more fun with cars, especially when I had a proper track in my back yard but for me it was for sure more reckless whiskey throttle checkers or wreckers fun compared to the more sober exacting precision needed for flying. I crashed (totaled) at least a dozen plains in 3 or 4 years before I hung up my transmitter. I wasn’t mature enough yet and the balsa wrecks were epic sad but I still dream about getting back into it. I think I am waiting for a racing related injury to give me a forced break from racing to make it happen. Hopefully not a very bad injury though 🙂 Just something that makes time. Good ol time.

    I’m going to dust off my slot car table so we can have epic battles without even crashing our butts off in my dog turd infested junk yard 🙂 🙂
